Tech Notes

SHNs were decoded to wave and SF 6.0 was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD & AUD. This is a 60% SBD, 40% AUD mix.

Notes

d1t09 approx 0.621 seconds of crowd cheer missing after the
last song and before Bob Weir's comments "We'll be back in a
little bit". Strange. The AUD was trimmed to match and the
result is smooth and undetectable.

d1t08 at 51:57.173 the levels increase by approx +6db on the
FOB. I reduced the levels to match the rest of the recording
by doing a gradual decrease in gain. This smooth and is most
likely undetectable.

d2t09 Level drop significantly on the FOB from 57:36.956 to
57:47.500 for a total of 10.544. Doing a gradual increase
in gain I raised this low level portion +10db. This smooth
and is most likely undetectable.

d2t09 13.220 seconds missing of drums, just before space is
about to start on the SBD source. This is not only very
difficult to explain why but was really hard to find exactly
where to make a patch. I was finally able to get a good
idea where this was and patch it with the FOB. This smooth
and most likely undetectable.

Editorial Comments

I felt it worthy to include a few observations/opinions.

This is another strange 1991 SBD. Let me explain. Quite
a few digital SBD's for the 1991 year are in circulation.
I am sure some of you have noticed a sorta strange sound
quality to them. What makes them sound they way they do
is unknown to me. I'd call them too digital. They tip-
toe along the edge of blurry. If I had to guess I would
think a portable DAT deck was being fed an analog signal
into the line in. And although the levels were set
appropriately the deck was overloaded by 'too hot' a feed
from the SBD.

This 1991 SBD source is very similar to many other 1991
shows. 4/27/91, 6/22/91, 8/16/91, 9/8/91 thru 9/18/91 to
name a few. These sources have a good mix and are clear as
a bell, yes, but also sound too digital. Too much of a
hard edge to them. Perhaps the decks were overloaded,
maybe it was a poor A to D chip.

The FOB used for this mix is excellent. An 'in-your-face'
recording with a nice rowdy feel to it. A great compliment
to the SBD. While it doesn't completely 'fix' the overly
digital sound of the SBD it does help.

A good listening spot. Check out where it sounds as if the
Dead are about to head into Dark Star in the middle of
the first set. Listen to the crowd reaction to Dark Star
and then when they break to Masterpiece. This is really fun
in 5.1 and on the matrix. A great moment in GD history.

I remember wondering to myself if this was going to be a
long 1 set show like Foxboro 1987. After opening the show
with Eyes Of The World and then this Dark Star exploration,
there was really a feeling of anything could happen.

Good show, over rated show, Vince or not, what can and should
be said is this show it is truly an extraordinarily unique
Grateful Dead performance.
